[Plugin: Audio Player] Version 2.0 beta released

I just dl’d and installed the latest version. Works like a charm!

Only hurdle.. I’ve searched through the posts here and see mention of an “autoplay” feature, but I don’t see a setting anywhere. Can someone instruct me on getting the player to autoplay? Thx!

@koads Cool, I’m glad I could help

I guess the answer is that this mp3 player cannot autoplay in WordPress, but alas.. I have found the answer. Using Google’s mp3 player, you need not upload any plugins or anything. Just simply insert the following in a post (or your index.php) page:
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=MP3_FILE_URL" width="400" height="27" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" />
Works well in Firefox and IE.. Google Chrome didn’t work, but no biggie.

It doesn’t give the standard Google mp3 player look, but you can autostart, stop it and control volume.. so there ya’ go…

Thanks abird! Your fix works perfectly! This problem with the Media Library not working properly was simply the bane of my existence. But now, YAY! Thank you very much.

OK, so I’ve found a problem that may or may not be do to your patch, abird. I am unable to change the colour of my player. The colour picker doesn’t open when you click on it and the fields for each part of the player (ie. Left Background, Left Icon, etc) aren’t keeping any values. I’ve tried deactivating all of my plugins to see if there was some interference from another one, perhaps, but the problem persists. Anyone able to help?

Thanks!

We have had the same experience as nepz…

We’ve read every single post in this forum thread and tried everything suggested, but no matter what we do, we simply cannot get the player to work in IE, but it works just fine in all other browsers…

https://klews.net (top left panel – displays player in everything but IE)

We’re using the most up-to-date Stand Alone version of the Audio Player within a WordPress 2.7 environment, and have even tried removing EVERYTHING accept the player to ensure it was not a conflict in scripts, and still nothing…

It seems there have been MANY people experiencing something similar but not one of them seems to have found a solution…

Is there anyone out there who has gone through this experience but forgotten to post back and let us know what went wrong or how we can fix the problem…?

OK, thought I would post back to let people know that we at least figured out why it would not work in IE, and hope this may help others…

It’s all about the commas, and not having one on the list line of declaring statements, for example, we originally had this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
AudioPlayer.setup(Wp.bloginfo.template_url + "/audio-player/player.swf", {
width: 280,
bg: 'ECE9D8',
});
</script>

This worked on FF and Safari, but not on IE…

After changing the above code to the following:

<script type="text/javascript">
AudioPlayer.setup(Wp.bloginfo.template_url + "/audio-player/player.swf", {
width: 280,
bg: 'ECE9D8'
});
</script>

…it all worked.

is there a way to have the player play all the audio in a directory?
like i already using a download manager to upload all my mp3, so i can to include the directory and play all the audio in that directory not a single file or specific ones becuase i have a lot of files.

NO-LIMITS,
what is the name of the file you have fixed by
<script type=”text/javascript”>
AudioPlayer.setup(Wp.bloginfo.template_url + “/audio-player/player.swf”, {
width: 280,
bg: ‘ECE9D8’
});
</script>
?

Look at my previous post on this page please. May be you know how to help me.

encode MP3 URLs for standalone version

Is this possible?

thanks to abird ??

I’m wondering if anyone can help.

On WP2.7, I’m get an odd problem in IE7 – the player works fine, but it’s display just shows ‘Connecting…’ and counter stays at 0.00. There’s no change while the file plays (e.g. doesn’t display any titles etc). But it works fine in FF3

thanks

For those running into problems with mp3 playback, it seems the issue is 48kHz sample rates and a change in Flash. For details see https://www.blackcj.com/blog/2009/01/30/flash-player-10-48khz-sound-playback-bug/

I don’t immediately see how to patch the source code with this fix, but it’s 3AM and I need some sleep. For now I’m having to not use the plugin rather than re-encode all my mp3s I want to embed.

Here’s hoping the original author will patch his code someday.

having trouble using the “Pre-appended audio clip URL” when I click save the link will dissapear. Anyone else having this problem?

PS great plugin!

Cheers,

I have a common problem I cannot solve.

I have multiple players on 1 page.
when one is playing and i click another, they both play.
I would like the active one to close automatically when a new one starts.

I tried FF and ie7.

an example of this problem is at:
